ARTHALAND officially turns over the keys to two e-Jeeps to Ateneo

ARTHALAND, the country’s foremost green developer, has officially turned over the keys to two 13-seater electric shuttles or e-Jeeps to Ateneo de Manila University, reinforcing a shared commitment to sustainable and efficient campus mobility. Introduced in 2014, the Ateneo e-Jeep program has become an essential component of campus transportation, serving an average of 34,161 passengers per month as of December 2024.

The units were received by Engr. Zeb Hussain-Leonidas, Ateneo’s Assistant Director and Mobility Head, who said the e-Jeeps will be immediately deployed to complement the university’s existing fleet, increasing the total number of units to 12. The two new e-Jeeps are expected to accommodate an additional 680 passengers daily or approximately 340 passengers per unit, while reducing average waiting times by two to four minutes.

“This donation reflects our belief that sustainability should create tangible, everyday benefits for communities. By enhancing Ateneo’s e-transport system, we are supporting more efficient mobility and reduced emissions, which is in line with our vision to develop sustainable, people-centric communities,” said Oliver L. Chan, Senior Vice President and Chief Sustainability Officer of ARTHALAND.

The initiative also complements ARTHALAND’s newest development, Liv, a sustainable residential community located directly across the Ateneo campus along Katipunan Avenue. Designed to support low-carbon urban living, Liv will feature a planned pedestrian connection to the university, offering students, faculty, and residents a convenient and eco-friendly commuting option while strengthening the integration between campus and community. The first of Liv’s two towers, Liv North, is a 46-storey building with 748 residential units that is scheduled for completion in the third quarter of 2031.
